KABUL: Taliban militants claim that the US soldiers saved
fighters affiliated with the Daesh terrorist group as well as their local
leaders by helicopters from a siege they were trapped in the eastern province
of Kunar.
In a statement, the insurgents said Friday that they had
been launching an 'operation' against the Daesh terrorist group for one week in
Kunar and had surrounded the group's important individuals.
